Every once in a while, there is a surge in BlueSky signups which makes me very happy! Here is a reintroduction: I am an illustrator and urban sketch in Cincinnati, OH. I work digitally and traditionally. I sketch obsessively and host sketch trips. #urbansketching #kidlitart christinawald.com

So much fun sketching this Ferrari at the Glendale Gathering Car Show. Mostly cloudy but the sun was intense when it showed up. My shoulders may be as red as this car.🫠✍️📘🚗 Plus my new sketcher ID!😍 #urbansketchers #urbansketching #gouache

Nature is so amazing. It is always interesting to illustrate the huge variety of life, in this case, a brownsnout spookfish with its unusual barrel eyes for ABDO's Seeing Their Prey. #kidlitart #sciart

Happy May the 4th! I did this illustration for Kathol Rift, a module for the West End Games Star Wars RPG in the late 90s. I love that I gave one of the characters a mullet. I made poor costume choices sometimes in my art and mentioned it to Troy. He said"Well, it was the 90s!"😎 #rpgart #starwars

More unposted Sicily photos. 📗✍😍 I thought I took a picture of the Catania sketch on site but we were drinking Aperol spritzes, so it is a little fuzzy.🍹 I also spelled Catania wrong. You can tell when that happens because I pivot to collage.😅 #travel #urbansketching #travelsketchbook

I went today thinking I should not sketch any more tigers since I sketch them so much! So I sketched the Cheetah instead. After the throwdown, I sketched some of the lake birds. Painting lots of Hooded Mergansers in my latest kids book so it was fun to see them there!😍📗✍ #urbansketching #sciart

I really enjoyed illustrating this book with the US Forest Service and Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. Such groups of wonderful and dedicated people. 😍🌳 It is so shortsighted to sell off our forests and public lands and destroy the US Forest Service.😢 @altnps.bsky.social #kidlitart #illustration
